Boucher, o famous violinist during
the first quarter of the century, bore a
singular resemblance to Napoleon in
countenance and figure. One evening
at st. Petersburg he played at concert,
where the Gar, Alexander l., was
present.

himself at the palace, was ushered into

The Gar withdrew and left Boucher

Omission Of the Comma.

Some years ago the omission of q
comma in letter in the Times gave q
horrible meaning to sentence. The
letter was on the American war, and
the writer said: "The loss of life will
hardly fall short of quarter OF mill
ion; and how many more were better
with the dead than doomed to crawl on
the mutlilated victims OF this great na-
tional crime" 1t should have been
"That doomed to crawl on, the mutt
lated victims of this great national
crime"
The following sentence appeared in
o newspaper short time ago: "The
prisoner said the witness was con-
victed thief" This statement nearly
caused the proprietors of the news
paper some trouble, and yet the words
were correct. When the attention was
drawn to the matter and proper punctu-
alton supplied the sentence had an ex-
actly opposite meaning: "The prisoner,
said the witness, was a convicted thief. {"
Dean Alfrod says that he saw an an
nouncement of meeting in connection
with the "society for Promoting the
Observance of the Lords Day which
was founded in 1881" giving the notion
that the day, not the society, was
founded in that year. A comma should
have been after day" and then the
sentence would have been correct

When the French sacked Northern
Italy, AS they afterward sacked the whole
Of Spain, the vast treasure of Loreto
did not escape them. They stripped
the Cathedral of all its valuable, and,
among other things, the Virgin of Lo-
reto, with her diamonds and emeralds,
was transported to Paris. From 1897
to 1901 the little figure Of cedar wood
stayed in captivity like Plus
the Seventh himself. But in
1901 the captive Pope obtained
possession of it, and eventually
returned it to Loreto, with q magnifi-
cent apparel Of pearls, Erilliants, emer-
aids and topazes, and it was welcomed
with tears of Joy by the priests and
people. Since then the treasury has
been so we'll cared for by the opulent
faithful that, in spite of assertions to
the contrary, its wealth can be little less
than it was previous to the depreda.

Besides the altar and the precious

Stories ofL,incoln.

During conference, in reponse
to certain remarks by the Con-
federate Commissioners requiring ey-
plicit contradiction, Mr.. Lincoln ami
madverted with some severity upon the
conduct of the rebel leaders, and closed
with the statement that they had
plainly forfeited all right to immunity
from punishment for the highest crime
known to the law. Being positive and
unequivocal in stating his views con-
corning individual treason his words
seemed to fail upon the Commissioners
with ominous import There was a
pause, during which Mr. Hunter re-
garded the speaker with steady,
searching look. at length, carefully
measuring his own words, Mr.. Hunter
said: "Then, Mr.. President, if we I'M
derstand you correctly, you think that
we OF the Confederacy have committed
treason; that we are traitors to your
Government; that We have forfeited
Our rights, and are proper subjects for
the hangman. Is not that about what
your words imply?"
| "les," said Mr.. Lincoln, "you have
stated the proposition better than
did. That's aboatt the size OF it,"
There was another pause, and a
painful one, after which Mr.. Hunter,
with pleasant smile, replied: "Well,
Mr.. Lincoln, we have about concluded
that we will not be hanged as long as
yO1t are President-if we behave our
selves"
This may possibly be misunderstood
by some, but there is here as high a
compliment as could have been paid to
MIR. Lincoln-a trust in his magnanim-
ity and goodness of heart.
At one time when very lively scenes
were being enacted in West Virginia, q
Union General allowed himself and his
command to be into dangerous posi-
| ton, from which it was feared he would
be unable to eStricate himself without
the loss Of his whole command. In
speaking of this fasco, Mr.. Lincoln
said: "Gen. - reminds me of

call heading q barrel. He worked dill :
igently for time driving down the
hoops, but when the job seemed COM
pleted the head would fall in and he
would have to do the work all over
again. Suddenly, after deal OF annoy
ance, q bright idea struck him. He
put his boy, a chunk Of a lad, into the
barrel to hold up the head while he
pounded down the hoops. This worked
like a charm. The job was completed
before he once thought about how he
was to get the little fellow out again.
The boy WAS securely fastened UP in
| the barrel.
"Now," said Mr.. Lincoln, chat is a
fair sample Of the way some people dc
business. They can succeed better in
getting themselves and others corked
up than in getting them uncorked.--

Two HUNDRED years ago in China
there was just such craze about nat
nra] gas as we have in this country to"
day. Gas wells were sunk with as
much VIM and sigor as the Celestials
were capable Of, but, owing toa gas ex-
plosion that killed several millions of
people and tore up and destroyed q
district of country, leaving large in
land sea, known on the maps as Lake
Foo Chang, the boring Of any more gas
wells was then and there prohibited by
law. It seems, according to Chinese
history, that many large and heavy
pressure gas wells We're struck, and, in
some districts, wells were sunk quite
near each other. Gas was lighted as
soon as struck, as in this country. 1t
is stated that one we'll. with it's unusual
pressure, by induction or back draught,
pulled down into the earth the burning
gas Of smaller we'll, resulting in q
dreadful explosion of "a large district,
destroying the Inhabitants thereof.
Lake Foo Chang rests on this district.
The same catastrophe is imminent in
this country unless the laws restrict
further developments in boring so
many wells. Should similar explo-
sion Occur there will be such an up
heayal as will dwarf the most terrible
earthquake ever known. The country
along the gas belt, from Toledo,
through Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky,
will be ripped up to the depth of l 200
to 1,500 feet and Topped over like a
pancake, leaving chasm through
which the waters of LAX Erie will come
bowling down, filling the Ohio and
Mississippi Valleys and blotting them
out forever.
